I have Mageia 7.1 installed on my Surface Pro 2 (dual boot). My issue is with the Marvell 88W8897 wi-fi. It connects when I first log into Linux, but after I use the internet (via browser, torrent, or MCC to update/install software), it drops out and the only way to re-establish the connection is to do a hard re-boot.
I have searched and found lots of information about issues with the Marvell wi-fi, but I have to admit that most of the instructions were above my pay grade (a bit to complex for me to follow). Any suggestions?
Also - if you reply, could you also provide some details as to what we are doing? If I get a reply that says "run this script and run that command", it really doesn't help me understand Linux. I don't need a lot of detail. Just explain what the commands are doing (I understand basic stuff like cd, rd, mv, urpmi, etc.). Don't mean to sound rude, I just want to learn.
Thanks.
